Included:
- adjusted passing results. adjusted cover calculations for all location and different defensive settings. fixed a bug that was preventing the safety from stepping in to provide double cover on a play. Passes defensed, interceptions, sacks, throw aways, and scrambles were all adjusted. YAC was adjusted which should affect the YPA stats as well.
- adjusted time per play. should be a little more reasonable time run off the clock for longer plays.
- fixed bug that was causing the Test Game page to blow up. Might still be a problem between seasons if a team doesn't have 11 offensive or defensive players.

All of the results are still subject to change during beta, so feedback is greatly appreciated. There may still be an issue with an all-deep, all-pass playbook, so there is still some work to be done there, but it should be better than it was.

Yes. Well, okay, it's not really that there's a setting that tells how many yards a player gets on a reception that was adjusted, but rather there are several places where it checks to see if a receiver is tackled. There was a part that was checking to see if the player was tackled immediately after the catch and then the next step he would be checked to see if the cover players tackled him again. I changed it to only check on an immediate tackled (or really downing) if the player had to stretch or dive for the ball and falls down on the catch, then allow the next step to handle to see if he gets tackled in the catch location - this increased YAC. I also found a place where it wasn't determining the right number of players in cover so it was having less people in on the tackle attempt than it should down field, which is why Safeties were getting too few tackles. I fixed this and this pushed YAC a little lower in some cases. So the update kind of pulls YAC in both directions, but overall it is increased.

The final in my first exh. game (Pitt St./Argento) was 104-69! My QB was 63 for 78 for 1,033 yds. and 12 TD's...a full season for some QB's! I looked at Long Islandd to be honest they're above avg. for DII, so yeah, I too think passing has gone too far the other way. But, this is why we play beta, right? And I've got to admit it was pretty cool putting up those kind of numbers! (LOL)

SHOTGUN - Nathan Clark takes the snap. [Pass Defense - medium cover]
The defense is starting to get pressure on Clark. Delgado (Austin) is covered at the GC 28 (short).
Valdez (Smart, Schmitt, Smith) is covered at the GC 34 (medium).
Clark throws to Delgado (Austin, Schmitt, Smith) at the GC 35 (medium). Delgado makes the catch.
Delgado is tackled by James Leon at the GC 40. 14 yards on the play.

How are the two safeties both covering two different receivers? This seems like it should be an either/or thing.
There are too many receptions when a receiver is covered by three defenders, like in this play.

SHOTGUN - Nathan Clark takes the snap. [Pass Defense - long cover]
The defense is starting to get pressure on Clark. Fleming (Barnes) is covered at the L 36 (deep).
Clark throws to Delgado (Bell) at the GC 33 (medium). Delgado makes the catch.
Raymond Thomas can't wrap up Delgado.
Delgado is brought down by Jeffrey Bell on a strong tackle at the GC 37. 13 yards on the play.

Here, a CB all the way from the other side of the field stops a WR for short YAC (medium pass, only 13 yards on the play). This seems unrealistic. If the CB was already on that side of the field, who was on the other side? Were two WRs covered by LBs? If so, shouldn't a QB with decent GI throw to that side of the field?

Joseph Burns takes the snap and drops back to pass. [Pass Defense - short cover]
The defense is starting to get pressure on Burns.
Burns throws to Garcia (Bates) at the GC 15 (short). Garcia makes the catch.
David Serrano can't wrap up Garcia.
Garcia is tackled by Paul Flanagan at the GC 7. 14 yards on the play.

Do safeties only help with WRs? In this play, the safety is covering short but offers no help with the TE. At other depths, safeties seem to cover everyone.

Joseph Burns takes the snap and drops back to pass. [Pass Defense - medium cover]
The defense is starting to get pressure on Burns.
Burns rolls out of the pocket.
Burns throws to Lacey (Bates, Schmitt, Smith) at the GC 49 (medium). Lacey makes the catch.
Charles Stinson gets a hand on Lacey to bring him down at the GC 41. 16-yard gain.

First, the QB throws into triple coverage and completes the pass. Then none of the three in coverage makes the tackle. It doesn't look like there's a broken or missed tackle, the defenders just seem to disappear while waiting for someone else not in the immediate area to make the play.

I just started messing with this again and I'm seeing the same thing.

Yeah the passing is way out of control. I did like 20 test games against a pretty equal opponent and both teams completed on average 60% and over 300yds. There were some occasions over 600yds. The teams also had 5-10 sacks, so need to change something.
